I'm sorry, but I think I read in your piece about "public" breastfeeding (in your office), that a mother should feed her child in the bathroom. Is that where you eat? Do I understand correctly that you think breastfeeding is a private act? Do you eat only in private? In my state of Connecticut, there is a law to protect a woman's right to breastfeed her child wherever she has the right to be-public, private, or government property. It seems like a silly law, because of course babies need to be fed when they need it, and you wouldn't object to a baby being given a bottle. And when you think about it, a woman breastfeeding is pretty covered up-more even than teenagers in a bikini on the beach I go to. I can't even dignify the remark regarding urinating in public. Are you seriously meaning to say that providing "Nature's Perfect Food" is the same as eliminating waste? So-what's the real problem? Sincerely yours Ellen Kadden M.A., IBCLC Fairfield CT mother of 3 breastfed adult children, all of whom think breastfeeding in public is just dandy *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
